As Poslovni Dnevnik/Lucija Spiljak writes, the Zagreb Computer Association (ZRS) received a modern VIDI X as part of the “Dream and Realise” initiative, thanks to a donation from the Zagreb-based IT company Ingemark.
VIDI X is the first Croatian development microcomputer designed by the VIDI company in cooperation with engineers from various top quality Croatian technology companies in order to make it easier for teachers and educators to work in the demanding STEM field.
As many as 66 Croatian schools have expressed a desire to have a VIDI X in their classrooms, which is why the “Dream and Realise” initiative was initially launched, which includes numerous Croatian companies who make donations.
The Zagreb Computer Association is a non-profit organisation aimed at gathering children and young people to encourage talent and popularise informatics, and with this donation, Ingemark joined the Croatian Robotics Association, which, like 18 Croatian schools, is now equipped with this valuable technology, making it available to as many as 9,000 students across the nation.
The Zagreb Computer Association’s Secretary Zdravko Skokic immediately introduced VIDI X as a new platform for learning programming because it can be used for interesting development projects using C ++, Python and other programming languages that the aforementioned association successfully teaches generations of future engineers and technology entrepreneurs. About 200 children pass through their workshops each and every year.
During the donation process, Magdalena Matic, a member of the board of the Croatian company Ingemark, pointed out that continuous and quality education is the key to success in the modern world.
“Today, the vast majority of the work we do is almost inconceivable without modern IT equipment and all of its associated knowledge, which Ingemark also testifies to in its daily business. The field in which we operate is developing extremely rapidly. We hope that this donation will enable educators better teaching, and students an additional step forward in their education. At the same time, we hope that one day some of these young people may become excellent young professionals to whom we’ll be able to offer a job in our team in the future,” concluded Matic.
